Shaila Catherine - Cultivating Loving Kindness and Cultivating Equanimity
Saturday April 16, 2011 9 am to 5 pm: Cultivating Loving Kindness
Sunday April 17, 2011 9 am to 5 pm: Cultivating Equanimity
LOVING KINDNESS is a profound quality of friendliness toward all of life. This ancient systematic practice called Metta Meditation cultivates a heartfelt wish that all beings be happy, beginning with ourselves and gradually expanding the field of loving kindness to embrace those who we love, and those who are difficult to love, until this caring radiates to all beings without exception. Loving kindness is a practice of happiness that heals the heart, meets the pains of life with sensitivity, and strengthens inner serenity that is essential for concentration. This program will include instruction, guided meditations, and teachings on loving kindness practice. It is appropriate for new and seasoned practitioners.
EQUANIMITY (called upekkha in the Pali language) is a stable quality of attention that leads to peace, inner strength and wisdom. A mind that has equanimity remains balanced and clear in the face of changing worldly conditions such as praise and blame, pleasure and pain, success and failure. In this daylong program we will cultivate equanimity as an extension of the loving kindness practice and incorporate reflections on karma and cause and effect relationships to bring wisdom into our response to life. Upekkha reveals a quality of stillness that is deeply content, beyond the range of pleasure and pain.
